Figure I should at least post something about this at the start. I produced a 45 minute documentary entitled " Lost Towns of the Pine Barrens, Vol. I" that won a 2006 Aegis Award in its category. It's "cross-curricular" meaning that if a school were to use it, it would work for both science and social studies/history classes. I produced a short trailer as well. It's been said there are more ghost towns in the New Jersey Pine Barrens than in all of the old west. This video recounts the unique ecology of the area, the iron industry it supported and how it met its demise. More information is available at www.losttownsvideo.com

Let's see, where to start? It all began at a local cable television, no, that's not it, it really began in a hospital many years ago putting my mother through 27 hours of pain, but let's focus on the positive. I'm a former television and radio news reporter/anchor, now an in-house video producer, freelance voice over guy, produce videos of my own, hlep my lovely wife raise our 4 kids, and find time to play tenor sax and write some music, besides homeowner type stuff. there I think that's enough. This place will be where I can share my thoughts, and new projects, and maybe even ramble on a bit about myriad items.
